I think that Paul Gasol is the most skilled big man in the NBA today with his ability to post on either block, the way he runs the floor, and the way he can shoot the mid-range jump shot.

Pau Gasol is extremely popular in Spain. I don't know how much he sells, but I get nothing in Spain. The money goes to the league, and they use it for whatever they choose to use it for to run the league.

But what I'd really like to tell you is I never dreamed of being in the Hall of Fame. Standing here with all these great players was beyond any of my dreams.

It is a very humbling honor to be selected as a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame.

When he's healthy, Zach Randolph for the Memphis Grizzlies has always been somebody that has always been very tough to play against.

There is no such thing as a perfect basketball player, and I don't believe there is only one greatest player either.

I think the greatest player I've ever played against was Magic Johnson. Next, was Larry Bird. Then, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

You don't have to be Wilt Chamberlain to get into the Basketball Hall of Fame. If you don't have a sweet turnaround jumper from 18 feet, the best route to the Hall is fatherhood. Daniel Biasone, aka the 'father of the 24-second clock,' made the cut.

You look at a guy like Michael Jordan: I can't believe there will be other basketball players like him.

I thought the Hall of Fame was for superstars, not just average players like me.
